Popularly known as Praan mudra, this mudra increases the Kapha humor but decreases the Pitta humor within the body.

Method:.This mudra is formed by joining together the tips of the thumb, the ring finger and the little Finger.

Effects:This mudra brings about an increase of Kappa humor within the body. Kapha humor is associated with vitality, strength and immunity. Practice of Praan mudra increases these qualities. This mudra also reduces Pitta humor, which is associated with bodily heat and metabolism. Thus, this mudra is excellent for people who have an excess of Pitta or a deficiency of kapha in their bodies. They can perform this mudra even to avert illness. On the other hand, people with a kapha-excess or Pitta-deficiency should perform this mudra in moderation, if at all.Vaata Naashak Mudra
